America is posed and ready to enter the “golden Years” of space exploration and it is without a doubt a great time to be alive if you have any thoughts of man entering the cosmos. It is now obvious that NASA will not be the only enterprise for the outward movement of man into space. Our Space News Journal will be here to cover these exciting developments.
Here you will also find space news about space tourism. The seed for space tourism has started it’s germination and space companies involved in this exciting endeavor already exist. Space tourism no longer resides within the realm of science fiction. Space tourism and space exploration technology is developing at a rapid pace and our Space News website will be at the forefront in terms of timely delivery of this important space news.
Space pioneers such as Burt Rutan, Sir Richard Branson, Anousheh Ansari, Paul Allen, Peter Diamandis, and many others are at the epicenter of this exciting development. Space companies will be competing for customers within the market place, and our Space News website will cover all aspects of these developments.

NASA has been an important entity for space exploration, but they are no longer the only player in the game today. NASA has taken the first steps and will continue to move man out into space, at least to the extent that a government agency can complete such a job. It appears as if the torch is being passed to space companies and competition within the market place will be a major force for putting man out into space.
Given the rapid, and for me unexpected development of space tourism, it is prudent to keep up with the most current space news. Hence the development of this space news journal. I could have privatized this space news journal where only I would read about these developments, but to me it makes more sense to share this news with the space enthusiast. The following is today’s current space news, videos, and related articles.
